To say this place is amazing would be an understatement. We visited every day during our trip and…read morelooked forward to it each time. The staff was incredibly friendly and attentive, creating a welcoming atmosphere from the moment you arrive. While it can get busy, the line moves quickly and efficiently. The coffee is rich, flavorful, and full-bodied, and the açaí bowls are fresh with ingredients you can tell are high quality. Everything we tried was consistently excellent. Needless to say, this is one of the places we'll miss most from our trip, and we're already planning our next visit.

Definitely one of my favorite Island Vintage locations!

We thought it was a great place to do work since it's outside and the title of the restaurant has cafe in it. It's super spacious inside and outside.

I opted for their breakfast plate with sausages, over medium eggs, and a side of blueberry pancakes and honestly, I still think about those pancakes. They were soft and fluffy and I have yet to find anything similar back home. While it was packed on a weekend morning, the workers assisted us in finding a table which we greatly appreciated. Overall, the vibes were great, the food was delicious, and it's a definite must stop if you're in the area.

SUNDAYS! BRUNCH! ALL-YOU-CAN-EAT! Reservations Almost Disappear As Soon As They Come Available…read more This would be my first attempt at getting a reservation for this restaurant located at the Four Seasons Hotel in Ko Olina, O'ahu. This place is mostly out doors. Mostly covered, too. PRO TIP: if you want Air conditioning, request a table closest to the food. They keep those areas cool. But, it's still out doors. So, if there's breezes going through, there goes your AC. lol. The Food is So Good. There was a Poke Section, a crustacean section, (if you want a lobster tail, head over to the ramen station and request a lobster tail). There's a hot section, salad section, Dessert Section, Carving Station and everyone's favorite, ICE CREAM stations with toppings.. Vanilla & Chocolate are the two flavors...

Located in the Four Seasons, ambiance of course is unmatched and so much quieter of course than neighboring Aulani. The bao buns were perfect for sharing to start off and was delicious. Although $7-10 more, I still felt the mac nut crusted fish had the best value than some of the other options. The LHK burger is satisfying but for $30 is on the high side even if it comes with the side of onion rings. The eggplant a la plancha was really light as it was one eggplant steak with labneh. For $27, I would have thought it would have come with more than one slice. But I guess if you can afford the Four Seasons, this is just a drop in the bucket. But if you're just coming for lunch, it may be sticker shock for that dish. Service was wonderful as expected with a Four Seasons and they were so sweet to give my husband a complimentary dessert for his birthday.

The menu is pretty mixed too, so you can go for breakfast or jump straight into things like pasta or a sandwich. The fish and chips were delicious! The batter was light, not too greasy or heavy, and the shoestring fries definitely hit the spot. The açaí bowl was really good too. It's made with açaí and mango sorbet and loaded with fruit--bananas, pineapple, strawberries, blueberries. Super refreshing and actually pretty filling. The lobster Benedict was the letdown. The sourdough kind of took over the whole dish, and the lobster was chewy and oddly cold. Not something I'd order again. On the plus side, the service was great--everyone was really friendly and attentive, which made the experience better overall. Definitely a convenient spot at the resort, but I'd stick to the basics next time.

This review is long overdue, but we went to Longhi's for Mother's Day brunch and left feeling a bit…read moreunderwhelmed. One thing this restaurant definitely has going for is the setting. It's a beautiful outdoor and relaxing atmosphere. Unfortunately, the food and service didn't quite live up to the location. I ordered the fish and chips, while my boyfriend went with the Maine lobster eggs Benedict. We waited a long time for the food to come out, probably well over an hour. While I know it was a holiday and they were very busy, it still felt excessive. When my fish and chips arrived, it was a bit sad looking for the price. The fish itself was good with the tartar sauce, but the plate consisted of just two small pieces of fish and a modest serving of fries. On a more positive note, my boyfriend enjoyed the lobster eggs Benedict and had no complaints about his dish. Other people in our party though the food was just ok. Our server was nice in the beginning, but service became less attentive after our food arrived. We had to tag her down to get additional assistance or check-ins Since we came on a busy holiday, it's possible we caught the restaurant on an off day. However, between the long wait, portion size, and inconsistent service, the experience didn't quite justify the cost. While it's a very nice and higher-end restaurant, there are other brunch spots that offer better value and a more memorable dining experience.

The wrap with cream cheese, bacon and fresh veggies was perfect and light. The smoothie with fresh coconut cream walls was perfect after a run on the beach. Overall, you're paying vacation prices, but the food choices are healthy for a lighter lunch or breakfast. Parking is limited to a small lot with many popular shops/businesses.

The granola is also pretty good. There is a faint fridge smell while I'm eating, but I try to overlook it because the sorbet itself is worth it. Their açaí bowl is solid too. That said, the menu is definitely overpriced, and both taste and service can be a hit or miss depending on the day. One more note: I tried the matcha with coconut milk, and it was a total miss. No matcha flavor at all and just not good.

Ambiance is great as it is in Four Seasons.

I do have a nut allergy, and sometimes the staff doesn't write the milk choice on the cup, which makes me a bit uneasy. That said, I'll be more verbal about it next time to make sure it's clear. One thing I didn't love was that the ice was stored in what looked like a typical camping cooler. I'm a little skeptical about how well those get cleaned, although it's possible their ice machine was just down that day. Overall, the view is amazing, the coffee is fine, and the food is quite pricey. There are a few menu items I'd splurge on, but with an ABC Store close by offering very similar options, I'd probably be selective about what I order.
